The Bridge Across the Slansy.

Wexford Town is connected at its
northern end with the grounds on the
opposite bank Of the SIaney by a bridge
which was opened in 1895. 1t was col,~

Emanuel Cox, an engineer from the
United States. Its length was l,57l
feet. 1t was reconstructed in 1882: and
now consists Of two causewaYs project
ing from the opposite banks OF this
river, and of the respective lengths of
$50 and lSS feet. The roadway OF the
bridge over the Intervening space Of
1888 feet is Of timber supported Oh %
wooden piers with drawbriage to per
ND OF the passage Of ships. In 1888
many of the brave Wexford lnsur-
gents were hanged on the Old bridge.

The Cunning of an otter.

In the London Geological Gardens there
was an otter that had couple of young
ones. One day these young ones got into
the pond and were quite unable to climbup
it's perpendicular sides. The mother ap-
peared anxious to get them out, and made
several useless attempts to reach them
from the side of the pond. She then
plunged into the water, and, after playing
with one of them for short time, she put
her head close to it's ear, as if to make it
understand her intentions, and then sprang
out of the pond, while the young one chung
tightly by its teeth to her tail And then,
having landed it, she forthwith rescued
the other in the same way.

Pacer CA. and water P1pe..

According to the Gas and Water Revieso,
pipes made of paper have lately been ex-
hibited at Vienna, such pipes being de.
signed to take the place of the iron tubes
which convey gas and water beneath our
streets. They are rolled from sheets Of
paper, like fireworks cases, and are coat
ed on the inner side with an enamel, the
composition of which is a secret. This pa
per is also charged with asphalt during the
rolling operation. It is claimed that these
pipes will resist an internal pressure of two
thousand pounds; although the material IS
only half an inch in thickness, many uses
will be found for them.

Selling Flour During 5he Famine,

In reply to query from Brian 0 H..
a Waterford correspondent OF the Irish
World, a Chicago gentleman writes to
that paper as follows: / was living in
Carrick-on~Suir, County Tipperary, in
l846, when witnessed the Food Riot
referred to by your Waterford CORES
pondent in the Irish Worlds issue of
the 5th inst. Infatuated by hunger. the
people on. that occasion armed them
selves with latchets, sledge hammers,
etc, broke into the corn stores of that
town, and carried away all the sacks of
-four they could lay their hands on.
Two boats laden with the same material
were speedily relieved Of their contents.
l have a vivid recollection of seeing q
company of the Sd Bluffs, together with
troop of Scots Greys appearing on the
scene, all under the command of Lieut.
Col. Dickson. Mr.. Redmond was the
resident magistrate at that period, and
after reading the Riot Act gave the or
der to load. This man@uvre being &C
complished the next thing in order was
to request the commanding officer to di-
rect the soldiers to fire on the people.
This the Colonel peremptorily refused,
and in consequence the military, both
horse and foot, did little more than re-
main as harmless spectators Of these ex-
citing movements. The humane and
gallant officer did not get into much
trouble for disobeying the civil author
tiles on this occasion; nothing more
than mild rebuke of the Horse
Guards. In 1913 he retired from the
army and for many years represented
his native County, Limerick, in the
London Parliament.

WHEN a Chinaman meets an acquaint-
ance he suueezcs his own hands and covers
his head. Great friends, upon meeting
after "a protracted absence, shake hands
and rub shoulders until they become tired.
Instead OF asking after each others health,
they inquire: "Have you eaten your rice,
where are you gong, and how much did
you pay for your shoes!"
AN interest ting account is given in a
Washington paper Of the bravery of a So
ciety lady, who, upon one occasion, discov-
cred large and powerful negro under her
bed. She pulled him out and elected him
from the house after desperate struggle,
in which she captured pistol from him.
The police secured him and in token Of her
bravery, presented the lady with the pistol
IT is custom in the back-woods regions
of the South, upon the celebration Of a
wedding, to appoint a young man and a
Young woman as 'tcandle- holders" The
Office of these is to remain through the first
night with the newly welded couple, in
their chamber, each with lighted candle
in hand. It often happens that the ''can-
dle-holders'' themselves soon after enter
the matrimonial state.
LANTERNS are the most common objects
in Chinese town. There is an enormous
trade in them, owing TO the fact that nearly
every Chlnaman carries a lantern at night.
They are made of paper and silk stretched
upon bamboo and oiled or vanished. The
Chinese towns are unlighted save by an
occasional lantern hung before joss-house
or shop. Upon these are written with red
paint the family name or title:
ADoa, whose companion was cat, dem
onstrated in the following manner true
friendship: Their master, deciding to rid
himself of the cat, tied a stone about her
neck and threw her into the river. The
dog rescued her and returned her in tri.
umph to the house. The unrelentng
master again threw the cat into the river,
and again the dog plunged in after her and
bore her safely out but deposited her upon
the further shore.
A STORY is told in a Western paper Of a
remarkable trophy in the possession of a
Georgian hunting party. A large deer was
captured upon whose antlers was found
impaled the whitened skull of human
being. In all probability some hunter, in
struggle with the animal, had been
struck by the horns, which, penetrating
the skull, had become fixed and immovable
and was thus dragged about until nothing
remained but the skull.

A Lament.

Where are the forms
So many and merry
That Sladened the house with their coming,
Where are the dear ones
That gathered at eve
When the day sunk TO rest in the cleaning:
When the mountains grew dark
With tWilights soft shadow.
And the stars came out with their cleaning,
Then the whip poor-wil came
With his plaintiyc lament
That startled the Demonstrations dreaming
From the hills came the cry.
Low. mournful, and lonely.
That called the night birds to their rally,
And family prolonged
On the soft night wind.
1t echoed down through the valley.
Oh flowers and youth,
And beauty and bloom.
Cast their love and their fragrance around US
so many. so merry,
Oh kindred and friends,
And dear tender ties that bound us.
here are you now.

For the greetings that long since have vanished
No soft signing breeze
Brings the dear voices back
